At Wascana Animal Hospital, our team believes strongly in giving back and remaining active in our local community. Our practice owners live and raise their family right here in Regina! We have sponsored youth hockey & sports teams, we have provided hundreds of complimentary physical exams for newly adopted pets from RHS, and also have provided doggy-do bags for local Free Little Libraries in nearby neighborhoods such as the Greens on Gardiner.
Additionally, our team members have been available to visit preschools, elementary schools, Girl Guide & Scout groups as well as many other extra-curricular clubs. We provide veterinary education and are available to answer questions about what it is like to be a veterinarian or technician. We also are trained presenters for the "Be A Tree" program which educates people on how to read dog body language and interact safely with new dogs they may meet. Please call us at 306-789-0918 if you would like one of our team members to do a presentation for your group or to arrange a hospital tour!
Our veterinary team and Dr. Potts performed a pro bono extensive dental treatment for "Jilly" from the Regina Humane Society, so that she could be adopted out into her forever home! She is such a sweet girl and we were thrilled to help restore her oral health and feel better!
In November 2023, our hospital had a special promotion where we had a pedicure fundraiser for Souls Harbor Rescue Mission here in Regina. Proceeds from our pedicure services were then donated to help provide meals for those in need during the holiday season!
In October 2024, our team participated in and collected pet items for Merck's 'Heart to Paws' campaign to ship pet sweaters, beds, collars, leashes and booties to pets in need all across Canada during the cold winter months!
Our team has attended Pet Expo at Evraz Place. We enjoy seeing many of our clients and pet lovers as well as the many rescue organizations around Regina, SK! Thank you to everyone who stopped in at our booth to talk with us!
Our team often takes part in National Denim Day! In May, we sport our jeans and pink in support of the CURE Foundation for Breast Cancer Research. Almost all of us have a family member or close friend whose lives have been affected by this type of cancer and we appreciated everyone's support and donations!
Dr. Potts often participates in Movember to support awareness for men's physical and mental health! If you wish to make a donation to this important cause please visit the Movember Canada website.
